Chapter 1871 Fourteenth-Rank High-Grade Spiritual Material (4K)
Seeing the hand that suddenly appeared in front of him, Li Taichang's demonic eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead.
All his demonic thoughts were focused on Chen Fei's true form and past self behind him, guarding against possible follow-up killing moves in the Abyss of Fallen Demons. He even calculated that Chen Fei might transform into the River of Destiny to seal off the space with other environments.
But Li Taichang never dreamed that behind the demonic energy vortex that had been forcibly torn open, leading to a relatively safe area, lay an avatar whose aura, cultivation level, and even its chilling killing intent were exactly the same as Chen Fei's original body.
This is definitely not an illusion or a mysterious summoning device. The power emanating from that crystal rule palm clearly indicates that it is a physical clone with independent existence and a cultivation level that has reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm.
Li Taichang was shaken to his core. He was about to escape but encountered this situation, which was hard for him to accept.
Chen Fei's cultivation level has improved at an unimaginable speed, but it can be barely explained by the fact that he possesses a heaven-defying treasure or has touched upon some kind of groundbreaking secret.
After all, the Xuan Yu Realm is vast, and now it is facing an unprecedented situation. It is understandable that special cases have emerged, and Venerable Tian Xuan is a living example.
But what about an avatar whose cultivation level is completely equal to that of the original?
How precious are fourteenth-tier spiritual materials? Each one is enough to ignite a bloody battle among immortal realm experts.
Chen Fei himself broke through to the mid-stage of the Immortal Realm, and this Chen Fei also cultivated both Yuan Power and Physical Body, but he consumed two portions of fourteenth-grade mid-level spiritual materials.
So where did the spiritual materials required for this clone come from? The Illusionary Transformation Sect has no such resources, otherwise they wouldn't have needed the Heavenly Profound Sect to provide fourteenth-grade low-rank spiritual materials.
Li Taichang felt an overwhelming greed surge within him, but it was quickly overwhelmed by reality.
Now that even the escape route is blocked, what treasure or great secret can we talk about?
He had just forcibly torn apart the spatial seal of the Fallen Demon Abyss and didn't even have time to heal the sword wound on his chest. Now, facing the sudden attack of Chen Fei's clone, who was at the peak of his power and ready to strike, he could only manage a hasty but barely manage to make a move.
"roll!"
Li Taichang forced his way with his fighting instincts, turning his body and burning his demonic soul essence. He poured all the remaining demonic energy into the giant bone hammer in his hand, attempting to use offense as defense to smash open the giant Dao crystal hand blocking his way.
"boom!"
A deep, chilling explosion rang out.
The giant crystal hand collided violently with the giant skeletal hammer wreathed in pain and demonic shadows.
Li Taichang felt an overwhelming and terrifying power, as if it could shake the entire secret realm, surge into him through the hammer handle. His already broken demonic body was as if it had been struck by an ancient divine mountain. His arms holding the hammer made a "crack" sound as they broke under the strain, and demonic blood gushed out.
Even more terrifying was that the power contained in that giant crystal hand was not simply brute force; it also contained a cold, pure, and destructive will that seemed capable of annihilating all life. Like a bone-deep infection, it instantly eroded his demonic body, frantically destroying the very source that had just been barely repaired.
"puff!"
Li Taichang's body was like a kite with a broken string, blasted backward from the vortex of demonic energy by this irresistible force, heading straight for the location of Chen Fei's main body and his past self.
If Li Taichang were at his peak, it should have been Chen Fei's clone that was forced back just now. However, due to the coincidence of all the events, Li Taichang was unable to unleash his true power.
"Fight, fight, fight!"
Li Taichang roared furiously. The situation had reached its most desperate point. The escape route had been cut off, and now he could only fight to the death to see if he could fight his way out.
As long as there is even the slightest gap, once it unleashes its peak Immortal Realm speed, it will surely be able to escape alive!
Chen Fei himself, his past self, and the Night Demon Warrior appeared as if by teleportation along the path of Li Taichang's backward flight, forming a triangular formation that firmly trapped him in the core of the Fallen Demon Abyss.
Three sword lights appeared simultaneously, one after the other.
Chen Fei's true form, the Qian Yuan Sword, with its purple-gold light contained, triggered the collapse of the ancient Heavenly Court's illusory image. The power of the Nine Heavens Palace was folded and compressed into the sword's edge, carrying the intent of ending everything and returning to the void.
The silver-white sword, formed from the remnants of a past life, flows with strange ripples of time that accelerate and slow down. Wherever the sword light passes, space seems to be stretched and shortened.
The Night Demon Warrior's longsword slashed down fiercely, its pure dark purple edge tearing through the void with primal destructive power.
Li Taichang's eyes were bloodshot; the shadow of death had completely ignited the ferocity in his bones.
Li Taichang let out a beast-like roar, his demonic flames surged wildly, and the immortal crystals within his body burned recklessly, transforming into a mighty torrent of primordial energy.
Eternal decay and withered bones, a lament for all demons!
Li Taichang gripped the giant bone hammer tightly with both hands, disregarding the strength his arms could withstand, and slammed the hammer down hard into the Fallen Demon Abyss and the Pure Demon Pool beneath his feet.
The countless agonizing demonic shadows entwined on the surface of the hammer emitted an extremely shrill howl and then exploded in an instant.
"boom!"
A destructive energy, a mixture of endless resentment, madness, and despair, erupted suddenly. The pitch-black demonic light, mixed with viscous demonic blood, was like ink dripping into clear water, instantly polluting a large area of the Pure Demon Pool.
The entire Demon Abyss trembled violently, and the pitch-black cliff walls on both sides, etched with natural regular patterns, were corroded with large scorch marks.
This is Li Taichang's trump card, a desperate, life-or-death technique. Using the essence of the immortal divine weapon, the City of Eternal Bone, as a catalyst, it detonates the resentment of the billions of demonic souls imprisoned within, creating a one-time, indiscriminate destructive impact.
Its power is so great that it can briefly contend with the peak of the Immortal Realm.
He was willing to destroy his divine weapon to create chaos and tear apart the damned Demon Abyss's seal, even if there was only a sliver of hope.
A violent shockwave of magical energy swept in all directions, engulfing Chen Fei's three figures simultaneously.
A ruthless and crazed glint flashed in Li Taichang's eyes. Using the recoil from the explosion, his figure transformed into a streak of light burning with primordial demonic flames, rushing headlong towards a spatial node on the edge of the Fallen Demon Abyss that was violently fluctuating due to the explosion.
“Open it for me!!”
He roared, unleashing the remaining power of the skeletal hammer upon that node.
"Buzz!"
Just as Li Taichang was about to touch that spatial node, an invisible ripple of spacetime suddenly spread out from Chen Fei himself.
A stroll through time!
The whole world seemed to have been paused.
The surging magical energy shockwaves, the splashing water of the Demon Purification Pool, the afterimage of Li Taichang burning with magical flames, even the expression on his face that was a mixture of madness and hope... everything froze in absolute stillness at this moment.
Only the three sword lights of Chen Fei himself, his past self, and the Night Demon Warrior slightly adjusted their angles in this almost frozen space-time, conforming to the rhythm of heaven and earth.
In an instant, the three sword lights seemed to break free from all constraints. Their speed not only did not decrease, but under the blessing of some profound law, it suddenly accelerated.
Li Taichang's soul trembled suddenly, and in his demonic eyes, three deadly swords that transcended the boundaries of time and space and ignored the energy turbulence were reflected.
Li Taichang's pupils trembled violently, but he didn't have time to turn his body. Most of his strength had been consumed in that attack.
"Chuck! Chuck! Chuck!"
Three soft sounds, almost in succession.
The light of the Qian Yuan Sword pierced through the core of Li Taichang's demonic soul. The silver-white sword in the past body tore apart the origin of Li Taichang's immortal demonic body. The long sword in the Night Demon Warrior's hand cut Li Taichang's remaining demonic body and the giant bone hammer with damaged origin into two pieces!
Time seemed to resume its flow at this moment.
"boom!"
The demonic energy shockwave that Li Taichang had just detonated spread out with a roar, turning the Fallen Demon Abyss upside down. However, the power of termination contained in those three deadly sword lights had already completely annihilated all his life force in the instant that time froze.
Li Taichang's tattered demonic body stood frozen in mid-air, his eyes filled with madness, greed, resentment, and horror... all his emotions instantly froze, then turned into a deathly gray. Even after consuming all the remaining Immortal Mystic Crystals, he could not save his life.
The combined attack of Chen Fei's true form, his past self, and the Night Demon Warrior caused damage far exceeding the repair limit of the Immortal Mystic Crystal in Li Taichang's hands.
Li Taichang stiffly lowered his head, looking at the giant bone hammer in his hand that had accompanied him in countless battles. A look of something like crying and laughing appeared on his face as his body broke apart inch by inch, turning into countless fragments of dry bones that fell to the ground.
Chen Fei raised his hand, and from where Li Taichang's remains had dissipated, a stream of light fell into his palm, revealing a mid-grade fourteenth-rank spiritual material, along with other rare and precious materials.
Before killing Li Taichang, Chen Fei attempted to use part of the Nine Hells Heaven-Slaying Meridian's profound meaning, in conjunction with the Void Dao Sword, to sever the connection between Li Taichang and the Bone Giant Hammer. He was unable to completely sever the connection, but he did prevent Li Taichang from completely destroying the collection inside the Bone Giant Hammer.
After collecting the spiritual materials into the Void Realm, Chen Fei activated the Purple Qi Eastward - Purple Qi Karma Binding.
"call!"
In the void, it was as if invisible threads were being forcibly drawn out and gathered together. A river of fortune, far more powerful and condensed than when Yin Henglin was killed, surged from the void and merged into Chen Fei's already abundant fortune.
The fortune gained from slaying a Heavenly Demon at the peak of the late Immortal Realm is immense.
Almost at the very moment Li Taichang was completely annihilated, a spiritual energy fluctuation of heaven and earth, far clearer and more accurate than before, surged from Chen Fei's eyes like a lighthouse in the night.
This time, it was no longer a vague direction, but a call that was almost tangible—a fourteenth-grade high-level spiritual material.
Chen Fei had received similar guidance when he killed the first early-stage Immortal Realm cultivator in the secret realm, but it was only for a low-grade 14th-rank spiritual material and was very vague.
Later, Qu Hongshan appeared, along with three other early-stage Immortal Realm Heavenly Demons. After they were all killed, the guidance Chen Fei received directly transformed into a mid-grade fourteenth-rank spiritual material.
At the time, Chen Fei speculated that killing two Immortal Realm cultivators of the same level might grant him guidance on the corresponding rank of spiritual materials. Killing multiple Immortal Realm cultivators would further increase the grade of the spiritual materials.
Now, Chen Fei has successively killed Yin Henglin and Li Taichang, both of whom are in the late stage of the Immortal Realm. Sure enough, he has sensed the presence of a fourteenth-grade high-quality spiritual material.
However, along with this clear guidance came an even deeper, more viscous, and seemingly monstrous malice from the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm, as if it were about to drag Chen Fei completely into the abyss.
This malice, like a bone-deep infection, clung tightly to Chen Fei's body, even subtly triggering the rejection and hostility of the entire Fire Spirit Secret Realm's rules.
This was a subtle feeling brought about by Chen Fei's own abundant fortune. He didn't even need the guidance of fortune. Just now, through Li Taichang's forceful locking of his location, Chen Fei understood the purpose of the secret realm's Heavenly Dao.
"The guidance about the fourteenth-grade high-level spiritual material is true, but I estimate the trap is also there." Chen Fei's gaze was serious, and his mind raced.
Sacrificing the Night Demon Warriors could indeed temporarily eliminate some of the Heavenly Dao's malice, but now it seems that this is only a temporary solution.
As long as Chen Fei himself remains within the secret realm and continues to extract the immortal matter from its origin, his "mark" on the Heavenly Dao of the secret realm will become increasingly profound.
Chen Fei currently doesn't know how to erase this deep-seated mark.
If Chen Fei continues to extract immortal matter, the mark will likely deepen even more rapidly, eventually leading the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm to directly guide peak immortal experts to attack and kill him.
"Instead of passively waiting for a crisis to strike, why not... take the initiative!" Chen Fei's eyes flickered slightly.
Risk and opportunity coexist; a fourteenth-grade high-quality spiritual material is enough for him to break through to the late stage of the Immortal Realm in one fell swoop.
If successful, his strength will undergo a dramatic transformation, and he will then be able to truly protect himself even when facing peak Immortal Realm cultivators.
With that thought in mind, Chen Fei no longer hesitated. Following the intermittent yet exceptionally clear guidance generously bestowed by the Heavenly Dao of the Secret Realm, his figure transformed into a rainbow of light that tore through space, heading towards the direction he sensed.
This flight was far greater than any previous one, covering a distance of nearly 20 billion miles.
When Chen Fei stopped, he looked ahead in surprise.
In the distance, the familiar churning lava and crimson sky are no longer there.
A towering, dark red "pillar of heaven," its diameter unknown, stands silently at the edge of the horizon.
It is not a physical entity, but rather a condensation of countless flames that have burned to their extreme and turned almost incandescent.
The surface of the pillar was covered with magma-like patterns, radiating a terrifyingly high temperature capable of incinerating stars, and a heavy, suffocating pressure emanating from the very source of the secret realm spread out.
This was the first time Chen Fei had seen such a regularized "spectacle" since entering the Fire Spirit Secret Realm; it seemed to be the core manifestation of the entire secret realm's origin.
The source of the fluctuations of the fourteenth-grade high-level spiritual material that stirred Chen Fei's soul was within this Heavenly Pillar.
However, when Chen Fei tried to explore the interior of the Heavenly Pillar with his divine sense, he discovered that it contained countless worlds, with layers upon layers of space and intertwined and distorted dimensions. As soon as his divine sense entered, it was torn to shreds by the violent rules and chaotic space.
What chilled Chen Fei even more was that inside this enormous and boundless pillar of heaven, he vaguely sensed more than one incomparably powerful aura.
Peak of the Immortal Realm!
Furthermore, there were several ancient and violent auras, filled with the primordial aura of fire, which belonged to the peak fire spirits of the Immortal Realm.
Like ferocious beasts guarding their lair, they occupy various dimensions of the Heavenly Pillar.
Chen Fei stood still for a moment, then concealed his aura, blending into the shadows of the environment, and cautiously approached the edge of the Heavenly Pillar.
